Description Diana Lau

For example, I have 2 radio buttons that are in the same group (i.e. I can only 
select one or the other).  However, screen readers, such as JAWS, read the 
radio button description with "1 of 1" at the end.  That means it does not 
recognize other radio buttons in the same group which in this example, it 
should read "1 of 2".

Are the radio buttons sibilings in the same Composite? It will only recognise 
them if they share a parent.

Yes, the radio buttons shared the same parent.

Diana,
The following works for me on
W2K - Eclipse M4 - Jaws 4.01

Does it fail for you? If not, can you post a snippet which would?
Thanks,
Chris

import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.*;

public class PR25727 {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Display display = new Display();
		Shell shell = new Shell(display);
		shell.setText("PR25727");
		
		FillLayout layout = new FillLayout();
		shell.setLayout(layout);
		
		for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
			Button button = new Button(shell, SWT.RADIO);
			button.setText("title "+i);
			button.setBounds(0,0,100,50);
		}

		shell.pack();
		shell.open();
		
		while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
			if (!display.readAndDispatch())
				display.sleep();
		}		
	}
}

Can't reproduce with Jaws 4.01
Please reopen if this still fails for you or if you need more instructions to 
run the code snippet in my former comment.

I have verified that it is fine in build 20030218 by looking at the radio 
buttons that we provide in the Workbench preference pages.
